Which well-known martial artist do you think is consider one of the best in the world? Why? His/her style?

Jacky Chan - No way. Has a good foundation but does not spar.


Jet Lee - China's Champion 5 years in a row. Already known as one of the best but is getting old.


Bruce Lee - Trained by the Head of Wing Chun master. Beat all American Clubs in his time and has a punch damage of 500 hundred pounds.


Chuck Norris - Bruce Lee's student. Not seriously good. I geuss he wasn't a great talent.





Just Wondering what other great martial artist are there that i don't know of.

Chuck Norris was actually a great fighter before he became an actor. He was a tournament circuit champion in the late 60's and early 70's. he led the Chuck Norris Fighting Team in more than 150 karate tournaments. He was not Bruce Lee's student. Chuck is probably a close second to Bruce Lee as far as raw talent and mastery of technique.
Reply:Bruce lee.

Dux Ryu (if It's spelled correctly)





See Bloodsport





Some say he's a fake others don't I'll let you decide
Reply:Depends what you mean by great in terms of the sport of martial arts then there ar number of great martial artists. Including Chuck Norris who wupped up on a number of people in the ring. Billy Blanks and his Tae-Bo self was also a serious threat in the ring. Benny "the Jet" and so on.





In terms of just great practiocioners who represented the full idea of a martial artists as a scholar and a warrior, then just about anyone who takes their art seriously and uses it as a tool for self betterment and vice versa. By this thinkig Sun Tzu would be considered a great martial artist. Muhammed Ali also.
Reply:Chuck Norris was Professional Middleweight Karate champion 6 years in a row and Black Belt magazine's fighter of the year in 1969, so I would say he's seriously good (or at least was).





The late Andy Hug was a real credit to karatedo and kickboxing IMO. He was a class act and a great fighter.

The Thai who fight in Lumpini stadium are not someone a regular karateka can beat. The Thai fighter are incredible tough. They train since they were as young as 5 or 6 years old. They basically do nothing but train, eat, sleep and fight. They train about 5 to 7 hours a day and work out a lot. They fight every two or three weeks. So they're very experienced fighter. Also you cannot beat a Thai of similar size in a stand fight unless you really know how they fight otherwise you will end up in hospital. Also many martial artists has tried to fight the Thai at their homeland and pretty much everybody failed until people start to studies the Thai way.
